Interesting conversation. I think the one part that got lost was when Simon was questioned around 'how are you making money'. The answer seemed a little contradictory. Because he sold his business he has financial freedom and so now he's sorted, he's now giving stuff away for free. But he didn't give stuff away whilst making the money and then said it's a personal evolution when you realise you want to give away for free. But I guess the action speaks louder. He didn't do this before he sold - he did it after. But his argument of 'having enough' was likely true before sale too. I think it was a great conversation and certainly feels like Simon has a great ethos for the future but his mission is a little blurred at the moment. I guess it's the age old question of 'when is enough, enough?'
Simon, I am amazed that James seemed to struggle to get his mind round so much of what you said. Giving his info away totally for free blew his mind and he just kept trying to justify his charging model. The key phrase YOU use is that you have more money than you could ever spend from selling your company. It frees you up to not have to worry about income. You understand the process to build business, it has a fundamental core of purpose. You’ve weaponised the social media funding model, which is free to entry. How much money does James need to make the shift and evolve to no charge? The trap of monthly income and the pain if that money is not there stops people changing their lives. If you don’t have the £30 per month for a course because you either have to eat or heat, your model facilitates the ability to really make their dream happen. Even if it’s “just a coffee shop!”
if you follow this guy he sells agency courses to people , his own agency ronald james does around £2.8-3 million turnover , he claims he can help other agency owners get to 100k a month turnover without sales call whatso ever , recruitment is a peoples game developing relationship
Thank you guys, I enjoyed the podcast, there were definitely some really interesting ideas and discussions, I guess it depends really where you are at life and how have you gotten there to think about giving value for free or not!
I have time and some spare gold but I don't have one completely solid business idea. I did a couple of self employed jobs but met bad luck and found I had a poor plans as other thing developed around my work. A relaunch of one of the old jobs would work but not on my own again.
Simon I’m sure some day we will meet and I will shake your hand. You are an amazing man. I am really trying to figure out how to do help bank. I e been painting houses on my cane in San Antonio. I’m deaf but want to help the def/disabled and undereducated like myself have a voice! I have an idea!!
hi simon, i love your spirit..i recommend you to visit indonesia, go to Jakarta or Bali (eventhough bali a lot westerner now) and you will see a lot potential here and will help a lot of people (including me :D)
I like the interview but it should be cut into themes. I had to watch it whole but I was interested in just a small part of it. But I couldn't find the part I am interested in without watching it whole.
I love that this other business owner is questioning James Blackwell. It's good to have people who speak authoritatively on their views to large audiences questioned and put on the spot about whether their beliefs make sense - especially by others at or above their level of financial success.
lol current mood, money giving too many options, spent the last day deciding where I want to live sometimes wish I was broke and didn't have options, times were much simpler
Loved this! And…the law of attraction is not real the way people in business make it seem. There is obvious shifts in a person who is only focused on what’s wrong, or where they can see a solution, but the law of attraction is magic, not physics. I spent YEARS in the law of attraction and new age/new thought, and it’s MAGIC. It’s manipulation taking it to a esoteric manner. Choose to grow and mature and see solutions yes, but the law of attraction is not real. We cannot magically create and the “universe” is not sentient in itself. Sorry I hope that doesn’t come across rude and cruel, I just think this subject is such a grotesque trap.
Totally agree that girls/ women should have the time to do what they are good at - nurturing and looking after people (If they wantt to) Men like providing. Let them.
I’m looking for the words to make a comment, but none of them are even remotely nice. It’s like a comedy CEO interview micky take/sketch, but it feels awkward as james is actually serious. Interviewers did well to lead him into topics on which he consistently embarrassed himself, and did an even better job to keep a straight face doing so. It’s just a shame his market is recruitment - a perfect example of what’s wrong with the industry. Even more worrying that people pay for his guidance.
Goodness me, not warming to this James bloke at all…something about him. And no, it’s not his success…I have LOVED all the other pods and other guests…just something about him. Keep up the great work chaps! Less James…more Dodge and Piers. Both amazing people and pods 🫡

This is such a valuable podcast. Thank you for sharing it
Felt like a lecture from Simon more than a discussion 🤷🏼♂️ let James speak

Love your thoughts and perspectives.
Give them money first.
Because we cant succeed in fight or flight
Best one yet 👌
This a great podcast love the perspective from Simon on giving so much value 🚀

Great video ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Super
Who's the kid?? His Son? Nice watch, but he didn't add a single thing to the convo...
I like the interview but it should be cut into themes. I had to watch it whole but I was interested in just a small part of it. But I couldn't find the part I am interested in without watching it whole.
Yes. That's a good suggestion. Make chapters.
I love that this other business owner is questioning James Blackwell. It's good to have people who speak authoritatively on their views to large audiences questioned and put on the spot about whether their beliefs make sense - especially by others at or above their level of financial success.

sometimes wish I was broke and didn't have options, times were much simpler
🤣
Give me most of your money then you can be broke and things can be simpler 😂

Course Gurus are a joke
The host is unbearable, constantly interrupting. Stopping people making a point to yap on again. Hard work listening to him
Omg as soon as I heard him mention "the matrix" I just could not keep watching this. Red flag.
